Verse 1:
Daddy I'm not going
to say I'm sorry
There ain't nothing you
can do to change my mind
I'm not here to know the
things I can not do
We've seen the outcome of
the boys who didn't fly
That road outside that'll
you've been taking home forever
that'll be the same road
I take when I depart
Those charcoal veins that hold
this chosen land together
may twist and turn but somewhere
deep there is a heart
Chorus:
Playing with Fire
You know you're going
to hurt somebody tonight
When you're out on a wire
you know you're playing with fire
Verse 2:
perhaps this calling is
the channel of invention.
I will not blush if others
see it as a crime
However dangerous the
road however distant
These things won't compromise
the will of the design
Ten thousand demons hammer
down with every foot step
Ten thousand angels rush the
wind against my back
This church of mine may not
be recognized by stepol
that doesn't mean that I
will walk without a god
Refrain:
rolling river of truth
can you spare me a sip?
The holy fountain of youth
has been reduced to a drip
I've got this burning belief
in salvation in love
this notion may be naive
but when push comes to shove
I will till this ground
Bridge:
You know you're gonna
hurt somebody tonight.
Out on a wire
Verse 3:
I might not get there
This little town
this little house
they seem to be leaning
in the wrong direction
I'm not afraid of you no more
